Winter Wonderland; Sending You a Blizzard

Christmas is coming... Time really flies, very soon year 2013 will come to an end and year 2014 will be arriving soon...

In conjunction with Once Upon a Sketch November challenge, I came up with this "blizzard" layout using the K&Company snowflakes accents I've bought at Target during clearance when I was in Manassas, Virginia USA two years ago...

This photo I used for this layout is also quite "old"... Hahaha... It was taken 3 years ago at Orchard road during Boxing Day by Bryan Foong from Bryan Jean Photography... The lighting back then were very bright, blue and purplish... Pretty and beautiful but I've a hard time to find papers that will go well with the photo as most Christmas paper collections are always in the typical Christmas red and green... When Graphic 45 came out with the Nutcracker Sweet collection last year, I know the colours will suit these photos well... Well, it took me a year later to use this collection...

So this is what I've come out with... Lots of snowflakes, in fact I used up all my snowflakes accents to create a blizzard layout...

Blizzard layout; Winter Wonderland as the
Happy Place theme for the challenge...
I love using transparency to add accents
or journalling text...
Pretty blue ballernias dancing in
clusters of snowflakes...
I managed to find this cute little ballerina
trinklet in my Prima stash...
